This tread to me is all what the forums should be. 👍

My only wish is that instead of YouTube videos they could be placed on a Qobuz playlist so I wouldn't have to look up each track / artist and add them to by favorites manually.

Well rok , A recording is not a live concert .

I n the last 50+ yearsI have been to over 2,000 live Classical concerts .

A dozen of them were the LSO . They have the power of Berlin and with English

composers (some) the melody of Vienna . It is what I said it is , good as any .

When Previn had it  better at times .I have not heard Cleveland in 40 yrs,

All I know is that Cleveland is THE poorest of any major American city , what

that means for the Orchestral world I now not what..

If that is not a Great Orchestra there is no such thing !

Folks seemed to agree .
